whether you like it or not this year is the year of better battery life . is someone can pay 700$ for 2 day battery life rather than 500$ for one day max ... most people would do it , i am a power user and i get 5 hours of sot on my phone and i have to recharge mid day every day ....

I have used all the phones, flagships, mid ranges and haven't seen anything as important as battery life. A very busy day doesn't permit recharging and carrying battery packs around is adding more loads and stress. I want a phone to last a day or two with one full charge. You can have the most beautiful and powerful phone on earth and then if by 2 PM, you can't even answer a phone call, you are worse than someone who doesn't even have a Smartphone.

This is so true . I have a note 5 and i love it but 5 hours of SOT on a social media beast is not enough !! Im ok with charging my phone every night but phones need to start giving us around 10 hours of SOT .. i hate wall hogging at 4 PM and holding a huge battery pack when im out !

I think you have your ideas pretty much out of track.
SOT heavily depends on the screen yes. But then, it is not the SIZE of the screen. It depends on the number of pixels it is driving(resolution).
And also, if you compare it with the note 5? Both have an AMOLED panel
But then the note has a 1440p display vs a 1080p display which means that the latter has less power consumption for its screen.
There are also factors like yeah, GPU, CPU and the manufacturing process size (20nm, 14 nm) but thats a separate thing

You have to give it to asus. At least they didn't do the lg g5 battery suicide tradition : QHD lcd display with puny 2800mah battery. Replaceable but not all people want to bring a spare battery these days.

So the same display in 2016 as was on Samsung galaxy note 3 in 2013... 3 years old display technology is not something I would be amazed at.
On the other hand, if it is being sold at the reasonable price corresponding with the old display tech, why not to put this in the market in 2016 as well?
Obviously there are not many users, who can appreciate the excellent QHD quality of best AMOLED displays on the market from Samsung. But I am among them.

That's a beast, for its price !
But it doesn't exactly compete with the likes of the Galaxy S7 / Note series : the difference between QHD and FHD is noticeable (at least for me) on a 5.7-inch display. Plus, the camera will probably be average (1 micrometer pixels in 2016, really ?), like the battery life. It just has impressive specs.

My only nitpick with the design are those ugly buttons. 2016 and asus is still using those goddamn kitkat icons. They should have went with those playstation buttons. As for the battery, I'll judge it after the reviews since it's only 300+ ppi and using amoled. For $500 asus just listened to consumers who want flagship specs with a little cutting corners to lower the price.

I don't get the above comments this is a SD820 phone with 5.7in screen at $500.........Am I missing something or is that really good. People need to stop crying about little things like QHD on sub 6in devices and 2 day battery life, if the screen looks good and the battery last all day then thats a win in my book, you sleep at least 2 hours at night right? so just put you're damn phone the charger.
